Kaleidoscope - C++11 modernization.

[Lang Hames via llvm-commits]

Hi All,

Attached is a patch to partially C++11'ify the Kaleidoscope tutorials.
There are a few LLVM coding convention fixes and range-based for loops in
here, but the bulk of the patch is concerned with switching raw pointers to
unique_ptr.

This is a significant change from the original Kaleidoscope tutorials which
deliberately avoided any memory management so as not to overcomplicate the
examples. I thought it was time to revisit this idea, since C++11 has
removed a lot of the complication of C++ memory management, and there's a
benefit to having the tutorial code more closely resemble the rest of the
LLVM codebase.

Any thoughts/feedback on this direction?

I see this as a first step towards fully modernizing the Kaleidoscope
tutorials. My next step will be to update Chapter 4 onwards to bring them
up to speed with the recent JIT API changes - I've already started work on
a follow-up patch for this. If anybody else is interested in helping me
bring these tutorials up to speed let me know - assistance will very
welcome.
